I read all genres. All books that can hold my attention is fair game. While my favorite is still fantasy and historical novels. I have been known to get wrapped up in romance, mystery, biographical, non-fiction, and yes, even religious genres.

I have noticed on my online reading groups that there is a strong contingent of readers who read strictly Christian books. I have read quite a few religious novels and my new favorites are the Amish books that have been gaining popularity lately. I am just intrigued by them.

I cannot readily name my favorite Christian books though, and I admit to not ever having read the Bible all the way through. I do admire people who find an interest and learn all they can about it, finding the encouragement and understanding in the words, and even finding inspiration for living their life by it. I can sense that feeling of inspiration and wanting to be better.

Personally, I like exploring new worlds. I think that’s why I am intrigued by the Amish novels. The same way that I am intrigued by novels set in the middle ages because their lives then were so strongly influenced by religion. I also like to read about religions and culture that I haven’t had much exposure to like those of Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism.

Religions fascinate me, I don’t think not so much for their dogma but rather how people interpret those teachings and incorporate them into their lives. I l like witnessing or rather reading about the transformations that is almost always present in good literature and you do see a lot of that in religious books.

There are some really wonderful promotional products on the market that can be customized and personalized to display a common theme, logo, or motif that is relevant to a business or organization. Many of these items are affordable and a great, cost-efficient strategy to increase company exposure, garner customers, or expand consumer audiences. Other shoppers seeking unique products may have different incentives and objectives for investing in customized products, including solidarity among group members, favors for parties or celebrations, or to commemorate a milestone in a clever way. Whatever the goal, the options for products is vast but there are some simple and affordable alternatives that might get overlooked when browsing. One great item to consider is the simple lapel pin.

Lapel pins are the perfect, small item that is an ideal stage for a message, image, or company logo. The sheer design and style make it a breeze to create clever and effective designs for any occasion. The price per-pin is economical enough that those buying them can afford to disseminate or distribute the pins widely, without the fear of lost revenue that more expensive products may bring. This not only makes them the ideal giveaway or customer appreciation token, but also a wonderfully creative element for a party or reception.

Imagine these cute pins as a party favor for a wedding, with pins depicting an image and clever quip regarding the couple. These could be placed at each place-setting at the table for guests to take home. Also, these present a great item for a milestone birthday allowing planners to print a “then” and “now” photo of the celebrated individual on the pin’s facade. The guest of honor will delight in this funny endeavor and will likely keep one as a treasured memento of the affair.

These are offered from vendors in a wide range of styles and materials, from photo image style pins to pvc shapes that mimic familiar sites, objects, or personalities. Furthermore, metal pins such as die-struck or enameled variations, make handsome rewards to mark an achievement either in a work-place, classroom, or other setting. The simple tie-tack closure will be appropriate for any recipient, despite age, interests, or preferences.

One of the most important things that any business must do to sell online is to learn about the social media site Facebook. Below are a few tips on how to use Facebook in a business capacity.

Many new business people are unaware of the differences between their Facebook profile page and their business Facebook. In order to use the social media network to its fullest extent, a business owner must know how to separate the different functions of a personal and business Facebook.

The difference between A Facebook Profile Page in a Business Page
The first step to learning how to use Facebook effectively is to learn the difference between a Facebook profile page and a business Facebook page. A personal page allows personal connection actions such as adding friends while a business page does not. In short, a personal page is more suitable for true two way communication. A business Facebook page is more apt for a website, as befits the terms of service on Facebook.

Some of the other differences between a Facebook profile page and a business Facebook page include:

1. Business pages requires a simple “like” of the page in order for people to to receive updates from that page while personal pages requires a person to send a ‘friend’ request and be accepted before they can view updates on their feed and interact.

2. Personal profiles only allow 5000 ‘friends’ whereas business pages allow an unlimited number of followers.

3. A business page will give owners more insight to success or failures of various campaigns they choose to run. It also looks more professional than a personal page which is designed for more personal interaction.

4. Business pages are allowed to promote deals, run contests and other campaigns that drive exposure to the business while personal profiles are limited by facebook’s term of use from conducting many promotional campaigns.

What Should I Put on my Personal Page and my Business Page?
It is not uncommon for a business entity to use both business pages and personal pages in order to gain an audience for a company. However, the business page and personal page must be used to their best advantage so as to avoid confusing potential customers.

According to many Facebook marketing experts, it is essential that a personal page and a business page be distinct from each other. Although it can be reassuring to new customers that an actual person runs the business page, the personal page should not be an integral part of the business page. The company should stand on its own merits and use of personal page as an additional resource for individuals who want to perform deep research into the company.

With this in mind, a business should direct incoming traffic to its business page rather than any personal pages that the business owner might have on Facebook. If a potential customer finds the personal page from the business page and wants to deepen the relationship, the customer can opt to do that on his or her own. The business page should be the page that is optimized for search engines and receives all of the resources available from the company to maximize the search engine optimization effort.

Business pages are also much easier to rank on the major search engines because of the “like” feature. This feature is picked up by the major search engines and used as one of the criteria for determining the relevance to a particular keyword. If of business page has a great deal of likes and is optimized for certain keywords that is related to the company industry, then that Facebook business page will rank much higher within the major search engines than a company page that does not have any likes. Although a personal page can also rank within the major search engines, it is more difficult to optimize personal Facebook pages for generic keywords. This page should be used as a secondary resource within the major search engines when it comes to search ranking.

A Facebook business page should be full of information about the company while a personal page should be full of information about the person. Keep all personal correspondence off of the business page and direct any personal conversations to the personal page should your friends seep over into your business page.

There are many professions where the employees wear uniforms. The uniforms vary in colors depending on the business and the position of the employee wearing them. Some uniforms consist of a jacket, shirt or vest that has the name of the company or the last name of the employee on the front pocket or they could be as simple as a t-shirt with the business name on the back.

Restaurant uniforms are probably the most common. There is usually one style for the wait staff and something else for the people who work in the kitchen area. The uniforms can be functional for the position while still showing the professionalism of the restaurant. Food service uniforms are quite versatile. If you don’t want the entire apron for your cooking staff, you can get them half aprons that cover the pants. Employees can wear a buttoned shirt with this type of uniform. Most of the uniforms for restaurants are wrinkle free and have a soil release technology so they are easier to clean. Ties and scarves are also options with wait staff uniforms.

Another business that utilizes uniforms are hotels. From the housekeeping staff to the front desk, each person is important and uniforms serve to delineate the various duties of the staff. You will often see women at the front desk wearing a blouse with either a delicate tie or scarf. Many front desk employees wear black pants and black shoes as part of the uniform. Men can wear a dress shirt, tie and blazer while working at the front desk. Those who work in the food and beverage area of the hotel can wear a Bistro apron or polo shirt that has the name of the hotel embroidered on the front. Housekeeping uniforms are a bit simpler. They usually consist of a dress that has a straight front and collar. Some of them have pockets so that the staff can carry keys to the rooms. Men who work in housekeeping can wear a shirt similar to the dress in that it has a collar and pockets. The material is lightweight so that the staff does not get overheated while cleaning. Shop for other uniforms for hotels and resorts are for those who work in the spa area or someone who might be in charge of the front desk.
